AADHYA'S POV :
I am crying hard. My eyes, head and throat are hurting badly. My heart is crying and I'm not able to stop my tears even after continuously crying from last 3 hours. Some people are looking at me with sympathy and some are irritated. But I don't care.
How can I not cry, the only person who loves me in the world is dead. My grandpa is no more.
His body is covered in white and he is laid on arthi ( a funeral bier used in hindus) . People are putting garlands on him and performing the rituals. My father is standing near some people and talking to them. My mother and sister are sitting near grandpa. They are trying to act miserable and crying. Some ladies are sitting with them and trying to console them.
I am sitting far away from them. My mother slapped me hard in the morning when I tried to sit near grandpa. She said :-
"How dare you to come near us. You are not a part of this family. Go back to the gutter you came from. And stop with this crying drama. You are not related to us. See because of you my father in law is dead. Don't come near us or you will kill all of us as well.
See what you have done. Go and arrange the sitting arrangement for the guests who will come to pay condolences today. " and pushed me hard.
I tried to balance myself but I fell on the ground. She glared at me and went away. I made all the arrangements and later on sat in a corner.
After sometime people started gathering in our house. Later on pandit called father to start the ritual and asked 4 people to come and put arthi on their shoulder. They will begin the cremation ceremony.
Hearing this a sob escaped from my mouth. My sister glared at me hard. So I kept my hand on my mouth to stop any voice coming out from my mouth. Fresh tears came out of my eyes. They are taking away my grandpa. Somebody stop them.
No I will not let them take him away. I gained all my energy and stand up to stop them. How can I let them take grandpa? How will I live without him ? Grandpa was the only person who loved me in this world. Everyone else hate me. How will I live my life now ?
I moved toward them but my head started spinning and I fell down. I see them going out of the house with grandpa's body on their shoulder.
"No please don't take him away. " I cried and passed out.
So I made some changes in the story line. I didn't like the earlier versions. Please like, comment and give your feedback on how is it.
